Both of them tried their best to fill their stomachs,
After eating the noodles, Tang Qing and Jiang Li were tired and lazy,
They just wanted to sit quietly in this narrow woodshed and rest against the wall. They smacked their lips, and the aftertaste was endless.
It was as if the tip of their tongues had not had time to wake up from the delicious soup noodles just now.
Tang Qing pointed at the noodles stained at the corner of Jiang Li's mouth,
The girl, who cared about her appearance, wiped her mouth with a handkerchief in embarrassment,
Seeing the teasing smile in the boy's eyes,
She was not convinced and said fiercely, "You have more here."
She pointed at the oil stains on Tang Qing's face,
The two of them couldn't help but laugh.
..
On the other side, Zhao Lanxiang brought the steaming hot barrel bone noodles to He Songbai's house. At this moment, his hands and feet were fixed by wooden boards,
There was a circle of white bandages around his head, and the corners of his eyes and mouth were bruised,
He looked straight ahead in the dark, bored, and his whole person had a kind of decadent and miserable beauty.
He Songbai's swollen corners of his eyes shrank, and a flash of light flashed across his dark eyes. At this moment, his heart was in a mess.
He couldn't help but recall the madness he had here yesterday,
His face and ears became redder and redder,
He was so ashamed that he couldn't show his face. He didn't regret kissing Zhao Lanxiang in such a hurry yesterday,
She was so sticky and clinging to him, even the breath she exhaled was sweet. If he still didn't move, he wouldn't be a man.
He Songbai regretted that he was poor and not good. How could he have a good girlfriend?
He didn't even have the minimum guarantee.
Zhao Lanxiang put his bowl of noodles on the table and coughed lightly, "Get up and eat the noodles."
He Songbai licked the wound at the corner of his mouth with his tongue,
He said vaguely, "Take this apart,
I'm not a cripple... "
He raised his hand that was wrapped into a wooden board,
His eyes were filled with helplessness and grievance.
As he said that, he lowered his head and bit the bandage with his teeth. The next moment, Zhao Lanxiang suddenly twisted his arm.
Zhao Lanxiang said, "The doctor said that you'll have to be tied up for at least three weeks. Can you bear with it?"
Zhao Lanxiang picked up the bowl of noodles and glanced at him with a smile. "Don't you want to experience the taste of me feeding you?"
He Song Bai's face abruptly changed. He couldn't even maintain his most basic calmness.
He coughed and a faint blush appeared on his pale face. His voice was hoarse as he said, "You're a little girl. How can you talk more like a hooligan than a man?"
He Songbai turned his head and said, "I'll eat it myself."
Zhao Lanxiang knew that He Songbai just couldn't accept the fact that he was disabled and that he had to implicate others in his daily life.
If he could endure it, he would definitely not make a sound. Yesterday, Zhao Lanxiang dug him out of bed. At that time, he had a fever and his brain was in a daze.
Zhao Lanxiang picked up the noodles, blew on it a few times, and sent it into his mouth. She picked up a strand of noodles and he took a bite, slurping it.
"Okay, you can eat it yourself."
He Songbai's two hands held the porcelain bowl with difficulty. He bent over and put his mouth to the bowl, sucking the noodles into his stomach. He didn't even need to chew as he swallowed it in big mouthfuls.
He finished the noodle soup in silence and said in a low voice, "I want to tell you something."
"Hmm?" Zhao Lanxiang looked up.
He Songbai said, "It's not impossible to date me. But I have a condition. "
He returned to his usual nonchalant attitude and said lightly, "You can't tell your family or anyone else that you're dating me. If you can survive a year, then we'll talk about other things. "
No matter what this woman was thinking about dating him, she was still young and had grown up soaked in honey. How could she endure the poor days in the countryside and the criticism of others?
If they didn't announce their relationship for a year, no one would know that she had dated a man who was a landlord. She wouldn't be ashamed for the rest of her life.
However, she wouldn't be able to survive a year. Soon, she would know that he was a boring man and would run away soon.
He Songbai looked away, his gaze fierce and domineering.
Zhao Lanxiang's first reaction after hearing this was anger. She wanted to smash the noodle soup in her hand on his head to wake him up. Did he want to play the trendy "underground relationship"? In this day and age, those who didn't want to get married were all hooligans.
Old men had never been so irresponsible before!
However … she saw the guilt flash across He Songbai's bruised eyes and immediately woke up.
Zhao Lanxiang seemed to understand something. She felt her heart burn and wanted to cry.
She stuffed noodles into her mouth and said vaguely, "Then … what about a year later?"
A year later?
He Songbai didn't know. She had already run away. What else could he do?
He drank the mellow and delicious soup and said lightly, "If you can survive, I'll be your man."
Not as your partner, but as your man.
Zhao Lanxiang suddenly had an appetite and ate the noodles with a smile.
He Songbai finished a bowl of noodles. Zhao Lanxiang picked out the bone for him to eat and suck the marrow. The white and oily fat meat was big and tender with crispy green onions floating on it. She knew that He Songbai liked to eat fat meat. He liked it very much. It was best if it was the kind of meat that could drip oil with a "pop" when he bit it, or the kind of meat that was stewed until it was soft and tender.
He Song Bai's lips wriggled. With Zhao Lanxiang's hand, he ate heartily and crudely gnawed away all the meat on the bone. He also sucked the marrow of the bone cleanly, not leaving a single drop.
He looked at the stains on the woman's hand and shook his head. He said in a hoarse voice, "I don't want to eat anymore. It's disgusting … I'll just eat noodles and porridge."
Zhao Lanxiang used her chopsticks to throw the bone that he had eaten clean into the bowl and glanced at him.
He was eating happily, but he was still so awkward.
Zhao Lanxiang couldn't help but laugh. She shook the bone in the bowl and said, "There are three pieces left. Don't waste them. If you don't solve them yourself, do you want me to eat your leftovers?"
He Songbai looked away awkwardly. He felt choked by this woman.
Just as Zhao Lanxiang was about to say something, a burst of chaotic noises came from outside.
The two people in the room quickly raised their heads in shock. Zhao Lanxiang pushed open the door and walked out.
She saw Sister He hurriedly running back from the distance. San Ya was being pushed and scolded by a woman.
"Where's He Lao Er? Tell him to come out! Let's be the judge! "
"He must have eaten a bear's heart and a leopard's gall. He actually dares to hit our Qingshan."
"Hurry up and tell him to come out and give us an explanation. My husband's body is also in pain right now. It looks like he's going to delay his work."
A few village women blocked the front of the He Family's old house while cursing and scolding. They angrily waited for Sister He to settle the score.
Sister He couldn't handle this kind of situation. She hurriedly walked over and hugged her little sister in her arms. She babbled and gestured, "Speak."
"We don't understand what you're saying. Tell He Lao Er to come out." One of the women said impatiently.
They probably knew in their hearts that the He Family was poor and didn't have anything valuable. They couldn't afford to pay for it. They just wanted to vent their anger. They wanted nothing more than to catch him and beat him up. In the countryside, women weren't any weaker than men. They weren't inferior to men when it came to fighting.
Zhao Lanxiang quietly pulled San Ya over and said in a low voice, "Go find the party secretary. Tell him that someone from the He Family wants to fight. Tell him to hurry over."
He Sanya nodded confusedly and scampered off.
Zhao Lanxiang walked up and said with a smile, "It's noon. Have all the aunties finished eating?"
When the four women saw that it was a fair and clean city student, who was dressed very neatly and prettily, and her tone was quite gentle, their anger dissipated, and they asked her, "Female comrade, have you seen where Old He is?"
Zhao Lanxiang shook her head and asked, "I heard that your husbands were injured by him. Who was injured?"
These women thought that this female educated youth from the city was here to seek justice for them. They hurriedly told her the names of their husbands.
Zhao Lanxiang memorized them one by one. Zhou Jiazhen said that she recognized everyone from Hezi village. Zhao Lanxiang also memorized everyone from the brigade after a few days.
Wang Lai Zi wasn't among these people. Zhao Lanxiang didn't hold back and laughed.
"Go apologize to He Lao Er right now and this matter will be over." Zhao Lanxiang calmly said to the four women.
This sentence was like a bomb that broke the peace between them. The four women's expressions that had relaxed immediately showed up again.
"Aiya, so you're in cahoots with He Lao Er. You female comrade who can't tell right from wrong. Don't talk nonsense. What does a little girl like you know?"
Although there was a smile in Zhao Lanxiang's eyes, it was a cold smile.
Just because the man's background was not good and his composition was not good, once there was a fight, those people would dare to side with no scruples and step on him to vent their anger. They knew that he was the weaker party. Even if he was beaten, he could only suffer in silence.
Why did they think that He Songbai would never fight back?
He Songbai must have been very sad when he was beaten up by these people full of malice.
"Li Aidang, He Qingshan, Pan Huayu, Yang Zhimin, I've memorized all of these people. I'll go to the police later. The four of them committed the crime of intentional injury and gang fighting. Not only did they destroy public order, they also delayed our production team's project. He Lao Er is currently paralyzed in bed and can't move. He can't sue, but I can sue for him. "
"Who are you trying to scare? If you keep talking nonsense, I'll tear your mouth off! "
Zhao Lanxiang said, "Aunties, I've never liked to scare people. Whether I'm talking nonsense or not, you'll know after you sue them. When you go back, you can ask your husbands if they insulted him yesterday, if they beat up He Lao Er, and if they fought with hoes and shovels. Intentional injury is a serious crime and you'll be sentenced to jail. Do you want to apologize or not? "
Mrs. Li took a deep breath and said angrily, "My husband was beaten up by He Lao Er to the point where he can't get out of bed. You female comrade, don't try to scare me."
Zhao Lanxiang shook her head and said, "Li Aidang and the others used a machine to beat people. It's a crime, and it's intentional injury."
She said calmly, "Based on the fact that I have He Lao Er's doctor's injury report in my hands, I can go to the police station with it. If the report is accurate, I can immediately arrest your men. Do you believe me?"
After Zhao Lanxiang finished speaking, she vaguely heard the sound of something heavy falling in He Songbai's room. She pulled on Sister He's clothes and told her to go over and see what was going on.
